Please don't get an SLI setup.
Save the $$$ and get a single PCIe 16x mobo (cheaper) and spend a little extra to get a single 6800GT NOW, rather than 6600GT and SLI down the line.
It's more worthwhile, even though you will have to spend more now. 6600GT SLI just isn't worth it.

why would anyone run 6600GT SLI????? whole point of SLI is u run 2 high end cards to sqeeze out that extra bit of performance.

2x 6600GT < 6800GT, so when u upgrade, just sell that 6600GT and buy a 6800GT!!! much cleaner setup

My 480w TT will only put out 550w peak . . . . if i stress it more than that, i cannot blame the manufacturer. :p
:roll:

are you even reading my posts? his hardware should only require 350watts, and this PSU is rated for 420 and can't handle it.
